Well with that attitude there's no doubt you'll end up being one. I'll remind you of this moment when DA's tortoise donkey eats you.

I doubt it as they are vegetarian

Nope it's the same as two negatives making a positive, tortoise donkey will devour you - and enjoy it

OPSEC (all caps) is in the very first comment under the article.

Try and get the sentence 'you don't look like the kind of man that can defend his family' into a conversation today!

I'm off to have a coffee at local cafe in a minute, when the waiter asks if I would like milk I'm going to look him in the eye and say the above.

Try it at work today with your colleagues or boss!

The ultimate comeback is no comeback. Yep you are right, nothing is going to happen, just carry on, nothing is going to happen. Nothing ever happens, don't buy am umbrella as its not going to rain, don't buy sunscreen as you are not going to get burt.

Little bit of difference between me slapping some sunblock on me old bald head and planning how I wil 'take out' my neighbours in the event of some global apocalypse.

I though we had already established that?

First aid kit - absolutely! Great idea.

Blanket in the car and a shovel in winter - eminently sensible!

Live miles from the nearest shop and snow is forecast so get supplies in - nice one, good for you!

Carrying an umbrella when sky looks a bit like it might rain - top hole sir! Well played

Stockpile of weapons, moving to the middle of nowhere, planning fields of fire; in case of some unfoseeable global calamity - ooooh might want a lie down mate and rethink your life.

Hope that helps!

Hmmmmmmm....I don't think you're the kind of man who can defend his family...

Luckily on the same site (which is a good source of comedy/scary material) there was advice for 50ohmushtang.

What to do when your prepping OpSec is blown:

5. Turn Your Home Into a Fortress – Go all out! Buy steel doors and reinforce them, install bulletproof windows or steel bars, put a large fence and various obstacles around your home, etc. Also keep in mind that you and your family will need an incredible amount of mental toughness if you can hear hungry people outside begging for food and water.

6. Prepare to Fight – Even people you once considered friends might turn on you. If they get inside despite your security measures and it comes to an all-out fight, your chances of survival will drop dramatically. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Familiarize yourself with your weapon of choice and get plenty of ammo for it. Again, this will take some serious mental toughness.

7. Move to Another Town – This is pretty extreme, and for many people it’s not very realistic. But if a lot of people know about your preps, it might be the only real solution. Look for another place to live and start applying for jobs there. Another thing you can do is move to another part of town but don’t give anyone (except people you trust) your new address.

I'm guessing he has gone for no.7 and is moving to another town under a new name. I'm sure he'll pass on his new address to us though.

He may well have adopted and entirely different persona as well as location. Perhaps even a different country. He might even re-appear in a small Northern City in the UK disguised as a slighlty weedy spotty nerd. Anything given the need to disguise his elite military past and US prepping origins.

[Halmyre]

He's gone off-grid, clever boy. Tinfoil doesn't block signals it AMPLIFIES them, suckers!

I think you are getting it now that there are different levels of prepping. But only a small minority are the gun toting ones you see on TV and I think most of them ham it up for TV as no one wants to watch people sealing food in Mylar bags or canning fruit and veg. A lot of people on this thread seem to be painting all preppers with the same brush, but its like saying all posters on PH are the same, but I am sure if you looked around you would find a couple of dicks that you would not want to be associated with, its the same with any large group.

I was watching a program about UK preppers and there was a lady on it who lived in the area where the England riots happened between 6 and 11 August 2011, she was saying she was frightened to leave her home. She was a low level pepper just making sure she has enough supplies in to keep her going should anything like that happen again, perhaps even longer next time. Note that she is in the UK so was not tooling up with assault rifles and hand guns, she just wanted to shut her door and wait for it to blow over.

in the riots the gunshop in bradford, had people going in several times a day asking to buy a gun for protection, when told they need a licence and you cant really have one just for protection, a few winked and tried to hand over cash.

Prepping for 5 days?

Or simply "shopping"?

I prepped at the weekend. I could now probably last a fortnight. But I don't need to paint my face, or drink my own piss to be able to do it.

I win.

I think it has been mentioned before in this thread that not every one buys enough food to last them for the next week.

Why mention drinking piss, I have watched lots of shows and never seen a prepper do that, why would they when they can turn on a tap. The only person who does that is Bear Grylls but that is in a survival situation.

Fair point, that's very true.

I have to agree with Cotty the only preppers piss antics I've heard of is them buying bottles of piss to smear on themselves to make them smell like a female Deer.

I'm not entirely sure how this helps them.

[Trabi601]

I'll just leave this here. Not prepping, but insane gun legislation.

It will attract a hungry bear who will rip them in half and end their misery.

Ha! You don't know my family...they will be the first I feed to the zombies, come the Apocalypse

And as for 5ohM, he has disappeared into the LA underground, surviving as a soldier of (mis)fortune
